Creatures

Famous quotes containing the word creatures:

    Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear—not absence of fear. Except a creature be part coward it is not a compliment to say it is brave; it is merely a loose application of the word. Consider the flea!—incomparably the bravest of all the creatures of God, if ignorance of fear were courage.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    Some creatures are made to see in the dark.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    O curse of marriage,
    That we can call these delicate creatures ours
    And not their appetites!
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
